AGRRE/DISAGREE

1) POLITICS IS AN IDEA MEANT ONLY FOR ADULTS.
AGREE
To understand politics thoroughly you have to have a good knowledge of world affairs, history and happenings. Most children don’t have a good concept of any of these and when they are involved in politics tend to get them wrong. This is mainly due to the fact that politics don’t appeal to most young individuals and they therefore don’t understand it.

2) ANYONE CAN BE HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT THEIR SITUATION.
Happiness is usually a feeling felt after accomplishment, relief, when in love and in extreme cases, after revenge.
In order to be happy you have to take your situation and make the best out of it etc. –you might not have the newest gaming console, but you have an education, a house, food…
To be happy you have to be optimistic, grateful, and always avoid longing for more than you have. If more people thought like this then everybody would be happy.

INTRODUCTION

EPISODE DESRIPTION (personal edition)
This week’s episode of The Now Show highlights the global economic crisis, discussing the administration of stores such as Woolworth’s and WHSmith in song form.
Don’t miss the top tips on how to save money at Christmas, with hints that will make you laugh ‘till you cry!!!

SUMMARY OF THIS WEEKS PODCAST
This week’s show is an amusing comedy based around the desperate economic situation.
Featuring stars Steve Pank, Hugh Dennis and many more…

Starting off with a Christmas jam, ‘thanking God it isn’t Christmas everyday’, Mitch Ben, brings instant laughs with his hilarious but logical song.

Going on to the economy, Holly Walsh gives us her top tips on how to save money during the Christmas credit crunch or “scrooging it this Christmas” including this excellent tip on sending presents – “ Send a card signed with the catchphrase “Don’t spend it all at once” then tear the end of the envelope off without giving any money . This way it looks like you’ve sent money but the postman’s nicked it!”

The next major chapter of the show includes an outrageous song about Woolworth’s decline to bankruptcy – (verse from song – “Where will all the chavs go now, to do their shoplifting”), All the reasons Madonna will miss Britain, and the answer to the question “Why It is said that British weather has A.D.D.”

The final stage of the show, jokes about the Leicestershire police’s efforts to reduce rattiness by handing out free lollipops to shoppers.
Ending with a quick joke about medical wisdom realms passed down the generations, this week’s show was uttermost enjoyable.

WHY I PICKED THIS PODCAST I generally picked this pod cast because I had all ready known the show from the UK, therefore it instantly interested me to write about it since I had known it was a quality comedy production by the BBC making it a good choice for me to document. It truly shows genuine British humour, and is definitely entertaining when in need of a good laugh. I can honestly recommend this pod cast for its wide variety of way of making you laugh either by song or joke or sarcasm… It’s probably the most enjoyable way to keep up to date with small details that don’t always make the news.
